| Belo horizonte Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see parque municipal ao centro parque municipal ao centro Belo Horizonte is the 3rd largest city in Brazil coming after Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. You'll find this city at about 2/3 of the way from Brasilia to Rio. It is the capital of Minas Gerais state. The name means Beautiful Horizon. The city of Belo Horizonte was completely built on a plan corresponding to that of Washington D.C., with a very long highway circling the whole city. It is considered to be one of the cities with the best quality of life in Latin America. Belo Horizonte was founded in 1897 and is Brazil’s third largest city with a population of some 2.5 million inhabitants and over 5.1 million inhabitants in metropolitan area. The city is also a leading cultural center, with more than three universities, a historical museum, numerous libraries, and sports stadiums. Belo is built on several hills and completely surrounded by mountains. The constant rising and falling of the streets sometimes makes navigation a bit tricky, but the wide avenues lined with trees are always easy guidelines. Unfortunately, the growth of the population has been bigger than anticipated 100 years ago. So there's a lot of poorly built architecture and slums, but also still some excellent colonial buildings. You should not miss the fin-de siecle buildings around the Praca da Liberdade and the market on Av. Afonso Pena on Sunday. Located about 100 kms from Belo Horizonte you will find the charming city of Ouro preto (which means ‘Black Gold’), a colonial city with great churches and impressive pieces of work. ______Sights Edit This Sao Francisco de Assis Church Sao Francisco de Assis Church Andre Borba [Add Sight] The ‘hippie fair’ Edit This Sundays, in front of the Municipal Park James: type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Church of Sao Francisco Edit This Sao Francisco de Assis Church Sao Francisco de Assis Church photo by: Andre Borba With paintings by Portinari and designed by Oscar Niemeyer, this small church deserves a visit. : type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Parque das Mangabeiras Edit This Amazing view of the city, the beautiful horizon! type: Parks, Gardens and Zoos World66 rating: [rate it] address: AV.
